How It Felt in My Testing
The Hack 04 is the racket in this group that immediately tells you to be brave. It wants clean contact and forward intention.
On smashes and aggressive viboras, it is a weapon. In stretched defense, it demands better footwork than the Vertex Hybrid or Adidas Cross It Light.
I had one return game where I missed two low blocks, then won the next three points by taking every overhead early. That is the Hack 04 experience in miniature.
